Hey Dad,
Seems like one thing after another with my health. After the Diverticulitis diagnosis they found tiny tumors on my bladder. The doctors say it´s nothing to really worry about, but they´re not the one with the tumors. It´s never ending. My rose bush I planted in your memory finally came back this year. Looks amazing. There´s actually 2 one´s supposed to be pink the other red, either way they look great. The veggie garden is coming along wonderfully too.
I know that you can see everything from Heaven but we´d rather have you down here healthy and happy with us. Love and miss you Dad.

Hey grandpa! My second book is gonna be on Amazon soon Orion is two now and he can do so many things: he can count to 8 on his own, he can say over 50 words and actually hold a conversation, he can sign some stuff(all done, more, please, eat, upset), he loves to run everywhere, he’s gonna be Chase from Paw Patrol for Halloween, he also got to go on his first vacation! He spent a little bit of time in Florida with his MiMi and Papa and he loved it! In other news, I dyed my hair again. Purple and teal split dyed! It looks so cool! I’m getting straight As in college and I’m so proud of myself. I hope you’re proud of me and when I graduate in June of 2024, I hope you watch me walk the stage. I’m also gonna be getting a clerk job at Salamanca school district. We moved away from Batavia recently anddddd we’re getting a new car next month. By next year we’re gonna have enough money saved up to put a down payment on a house. We’re making moves in life and it’s great. Life is amazing, the only thing missing is you. There’s photos of you everywhere around our place, Orion can say great grandpa and loves hearing stories about you before bed. No matter how many years have passed, I miss you just the same. I love you so much grandpa, you are my reason for everything, I hope I am making you proud

Hey grandpa,

Today is the 27th of July, which means there’s less than 24 hours until you’ve been gone for 7 years In that time you’ve missed my high school graduation, self-publishing Child Of A Fallen Angel, me getting married, me getting my first apartment, me having my first kid, me moving out of state for the first time, me going back to school, me getting my drivers license, me getting my first two cars, and me publishing my poetry book and it actually being available to be bought on Amazon.you’ve missed so much. You’ve missed me becoming someone who you can be proud of, despite what anyone says. I stand up for what I believe in, I don’t put my son in danger, I donate to charity, I make a difference in the world, it’s crazy. You are my reason for keeping on. Tomorrow Orion, Matthew, and I will be watching Have Gun-Will Travel and Wyatt Earp, listening to trucking music, and making Tennessee Pride Casserole I also made a vanilla bean cake with cream cheese frosting. All homemade Ooo, you would have loved the potato chowder I made yesterday! I’m actually a pretty good cook, you would love it. I just wish I could hug you one more time Grandpa and have one more conversation. I know you’re watching me from paradise though, which I guess, until we meet again will have to be enough. I love you so much, Grandpa

Well Dad Gary and I celebrated our 25th anniversary last month, can’t believe we’ve been together 27 years in total. Tomorrow he has yet another Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm surgery this is number 4, we are so scared and worried this time. Just 3 years ago today was supposed to be the “final “ fix. I need your guiding hands on him. Please watch over him while he’s in surgery, he’s so afraid he won’t make it, Dad I can’t loose him. It’s been hard enough loosing you 7 years ago. We just lost Chuck our brother in law a few months ago. Keep a watch over him please Dad, love and miss you. Give my babies hugs and kisses

Hey grandpa,

This month makes seven years since you've passed which just seems crazy to me. I'm sitting at my computer right now just thinking of how much I wish I could tell you. Matt is a software engineer now making $25 an hour, which is insane. Orion is almost two years old and can say a plethora of words and do so many different things. I'm almost done rewriting my book and am working with a publisher so that I can get my books out into the world. Matt and I are also working to get a house once we move out of state, we've already talked to a realtor to get the ball in motion! It's crazy that I'm actually gonna be a homeowner before I'm 30, which was always one of my goals! A lot has changed recently and I know you would be proud of all that I am accomplishing. We are doing what we can in my home to keep your memory alive. I've told Orion the stories you told me and he can say "Grandpa" now and point out who you are in photos. Matt and I talk about you all the time and I sleep with your blanket as often as I can(my cats like to sleep with it as well). I love you so much, Grandpa, you are the one person in life that I will always miss with everything in me.

I so envy the ones that still have their fathers with them. Would give anything for you to be here. So many times I’ve wanted to pick up the phone to talk to you only to remember I can’t. We don’t have that luxury anymore. The pain still feels like the day we lost you. I keep praying it gets easier. Watch over us Dad, love and miss you

Hi dad.
Can't sleep tonight. So i am listening to my music. Have to be up in a couple hours. Me and matt and grandma sally have to leave here by 7:30 to have teddy at petco at 8 to get his haircut. Then after we pick him up they will drop me off at moms. Going there until Saturday. Scarlett and her matt are having a half birthday party for orion. Your great grandson is 6 months old already. I know you are watching down on him. He is a great little boy. I love being a grandma. I go to the doctors tomorrow . Well exactly 2 doctors appointments. I see the endocrinologist at 8 and my regular doctor at 1. My sugar is bad. In feb i got diagnosed with bells palsy. I still have problems with it. It sucks. I hate it but i am dealing with it the best i can. I miss you and love you dad.

Well Dad seems like it's always one thing after another. I'm waiting to have a genetic test and a full body MRI. I have been officially diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis type 1PN. The specialist is looking for any other possible tumors in my body. Depending on how the genetic test comes back I maybe able to take a medicine to shrink any tumors I have. Praying that I can get the medicine and it shrinks the stupid tumors. I'm on a pill to help with the nerve headaches. So far it's been helping. I know you're watching over us. I feel your presence every time I see the Cardinals in my feeders. We have 3 pairs living in the pine trees. You'd love this house dad, just wish you were here to enjoy it with us. Missing you always. Give my babies kisses and hugs for me. Love you dad

Hey grandpa. Its 2021 now. So much happened in the world last year. Alot of people died. I'm kinda glad you weren't here for it, I think it would have all made you kinda sad. Things in my life are pretty okay. We had a really good Christmas. I've been able to actually spoil my kiddo a bit, which is fun. I tell him about you and your stories. Hes 3 months old already and growing so fast. You would adore him. It sucks that he'll never get to meet you. But he will know all about you and your life and how important you are to me. I love you and I hope you are doing good wherever you are.

My friend drew a photo of you and him together for me and it looks amazing. I'm doing okay, Matt and I are moving into our new home soon, about 4 months from now, so not too long.

Grandpa,

I did it. I cant believe I did it. No epidural, no pain meds, just straight up natural birth. Orion Zathrian Foss was born on 09/29/2020 at 5:56pm. He was 8lbs 13oz and around 20inches long. Orion is currently sleeping right now while Matt and I relax a bit. Watching him be a daddy is making me fall further in love with him. Hes doing great. I'd say I'm doing pretty okay as well. I just cant believe that I did it. Matthew and I are parents now. I'm so happy I hope you can see your great grandson from wherever you are and know that he will know all about you. He will know how amazing you were. I love you grandpa!!

With the Covid crap going on Gary, mom and Mona can't even be there or see me before surgery. They'll get phone calls during surgery and after it's done. They drop me off and pray they see me again. Dad please see me through this surgery. Give my babies kisses and his for me. Love and miss you so much.

Hey grandpa,

So, theres 2 weeks and 5 days until my due date. Not much longer and Orion Zathrian Foss will make his appearance in this world. Doesnt seem possible. Labor is gonna be hell, but I don't think I really have a choice in giving birth. I live next door to where you and grandma lived when I was a kid now. Life is ever changing and I miss you like crazy. Wish you could meet your great grandson when hes here. I love you grandpa.

Hey grandpa...its so weird not living in New York anymore. So much is changing and I just wish I had you here for advice. I love you so much and I didnt tell you enough. There's this song and the one line goes, "Missing you comes in waves and tonight, Im drowning." That's how I feel right now. I cant stop crying. Maybe that's the pregnancy horomones, but still. Speaking of pregnancy, Im 14+4 weeks along. Im hoping for a boy, Matt is hoping for a girl. I wish you could see how much I've grown up. Im 21 now. Doesnt seem possible, does it? I wish that you could see everything going on...I love you. I gotta go make dinner, so its ready when Matt gets home from his watch. He normally wouldnt have work on Saturday, but its a duty day for him, so he has a 5 hour watch today from 1700 to 2200. I miss you grandpa...I love you so much.

Dad, you've got my Creamy with you now. Feel so guilty about not being home when she went to the Rainbow Bridge. We've lost 2 babies since our move. I know they're getting older but it doesn't make it any easier when we lose them. Gary came through yet another surgery to fix the Aortic aneurysm stent,this one is supposed to be a permanent fix. Thank you for watching over him. Miss my Creamy so much. It's so quiet here,she was our vocal girl. Keep my babies with you till we beg there. Give me hugs and kisses for me.love and miss you.

Hi Dad.
I miss you so much. Dealing with alot right now. Found out last week that the problems with my stomach is from my sugar. The doctor put me on a strict diet because of how bad my sugar is. I have no sensation or feeling in my feet. Which is not good. Spent from Aug 29 to last Friday morning at moms. She is slowly getting storage cleaned out. It will be totally done by the end of October. I have one of your cars here. Still trying to find a place to move out of here.not having any luck. I just want to move. Alot of stress here and I want kairi to have more room to roam and play. I love and miss you dad. Watch over this family.

Well, Grandpa, I was attempting to get school work done, but all I could think about was you. I've said for three years that I would go to college but put it off. I'm finally doing it. I am majoring in Human Services, I want to help people and I will. It's really hard to do this without you...I feel like life is moving too fast. Four years since I've heard your voice. Four years since I've hugged you. You'll never see these degrees that I'm working on and it sucks. Matt is going into the Navy, for nuclear sciences. I know you've never met him, but you'd love him. He treats me the way you'd want me to be treated. I can drive now, without any help at all, but I do struggle with three-point turns. Matt and I are trying for our rainbow baby. And I'm getting a tattoo in honor of Luna on Monday.

I really miss you, Grandpa...

Hi Dad, we are loving the new house, we're slowly making it ours. Got a pair of Cardinals nesting in our pine tree. I know it's you watching over me. Got one more surgery to go,to remove the tumors in my lower sinuses, get the stitches and plate removed from my nose today. Really missing you,hard to believe this year you've been gone 4 years. Give my babies and Muffy hugs and kisses for us, love and miss you.

Dad ,
Watch over Marissa right now. She is at the hospital she is bleeding heavy and cramping. We don't know if she is losing the baby. She needs you right now. Love you dad

April 6, 2019

Stacey Hamill

Well Dad can't sleep. Got so much on my mind. What my surgeon thought was a tumor is looking more like Cerebral fluid leaking through a crack into my upper sinuses caused when the calf head butted me. Gotta have a specialized MRI Monday. Just praying it's still a tumor and they can remove it as planned the 10th. I'm beyond scared. There's no way I'll have surgery to fix it if it's a leak.
Mona and I could use your extra guidence and extra hands on our shoulders. We both have health issues that need more tests. I know God doesn't give you more than you can handle. At times I wish he didn't think I was this strong to handle everything. I'm trying not to give up.but Dad it's so hard. Mom doesn't need the extra worry with us girl's health issues. Give my babies hugs and kisses for me. I'm so scared. Keep a watch over us. Love and miss you so much.

Dad we're all moved into the new house, I swear at times I feel you here. Slowly getting settled in. Absolutely love this house, looking forward to painting rooms soon. I know you've seen it from Heaven plus I know you're proud of me for having something to show for from my settlement. Its all ours free and clear. Got George on my shelf in the bedroom next to Bandits ashes. Hopefully Spring comes soon am sick of Winter. Give my babies hugs and kisses for me. Love and miss you so much.

Hi,Dad today we do a final walkthrough on the house, Wednesday we close so by next week we can finally move. You've been on my mind a lot the past week. Wish you were here to see the house, the new house is smaller but is perfect for us.keep an extra eye on us this week, love and miss you so much

Hi, Dad Surgery is set for April 10th 5o remove the tumor in my sinuses and open them up so they drain properly. Still waiting to close on the house, praying it's this week. Mom and Mona are coming up later this week to help get the upstairs done and some cleaning. Missing my birds like crazy, it's so quiet here without them. They're doing great though. Once we get settled I'm thinking about getting a pair of Parakeets. I remember the pair we had when we lived on Ridge Road. I remember the fish too, but with having cats the fish would become toys for them. Missing you a lot lately. Give my babies hugs and kisses for me, watch over us as we hopefully move soon, it will be hectic but worth it in the end, love and miss you

Hi Dad, today's the day of my Thyroid biopsy. I am very scared, have to have a MRI too as they found an abnormality in the left sinus cavity, still have an infection on the right side. Had to rehome thr birds, believe me it's so quiet without them, but they are in a great home. Next week we close on the house, getting very excited about the move and being a homeowner. I know you're looking down and you're proud of us girls, would love for you to see the house. Watch over the birds and all of us,give my babies kisses for me. Love and miss you so much.

Hey grandpa. I have big news. I'm married. I am Marissa Suzanne Foss-Adams now :) Matthew is amazing. You'd like him. He's into old rock music, like 60s rock. And hes really smart. Grandma and mom know and they really like Matt. So now I have two brothers-in-law, Harrison (Harry) who's nine and Jay, who is 21. Jay is severely disabled and the doctors don't know what's wrong with him. I know you don't know him, but watch over him please. He's a great kid. Watch over Matt and I, we're just starting our life together and I know it will be hard, but he's the one and I know that. I wouldn't of married him if I didn't know that. I haven't cut in a pretty long time. Im getting better. My business is starting to really take off too!! I'm gonna be taking online college classes this spring as well. Watch over grandma, her health isn't really the greatest. And mom and her Matt (it's funny we both married Matts)watch over her too. She really needs you. Watch over Stacey, as she's finally moving soon. Proud of her that's she's getting out of their current house. I miss you everyday grandpa. I know you watched as Matt and I said I do. And I know when we have our official ceremony in 2020 that you will be there. Oh, and watch over my cat, Hubert. He had stud tail and it annoys him a bit. I love you grandpa. Love Always, your termite

Hey Dad. It is mom's 69th birthday today. I took her to mcds for lunch. Dad keep a close eye on Marissa. She moves into her apartment tomorrow. But her heart is not doing good. Me and Mom told her to see the doctor you had Dr shah. I am not ready to lose her. I wasn't ready to lose you either. Me and Mom put her tree up last week and did the door too. Still have a little bit more to do on the door before the 11. Because they are having a door decorating contest and they judge that day. You would love it there. She has alot of friends and does stuff. Give muffin a hug and kiss and tell him we love and miss him. He loved it there. Watch over Stacey has she is dealing with health problems. Watch over mom she has been dealing with health problems too. Dad watch over me and Matt. We are still living with Grandma and Grandpa. But I been dealing with alot of health problems. They still can't figure out why I fall and pass out. There is times if it wasn't for my cat I probably wouldn't be here. If I pass out she will lick my face until I come too. She keeps me going. Hopefully the doctors find out soon what is going on with me. I am missing you so much Dad. I love you Dad.

Hey grandpa, things are hard lately. Im gonna be 20 in a few months. And, youd be so proud, I got a call back from an apartment yesterday, Im moving soon! Staying in NY for another year, then Im moving down south. I started a business, which is going really well. I have four cats, Simba(who looks just like Muffin), Alani, Zoey, and Hubert. I think youd like Hubert the best. Hes a fighter. He spent three years outside with broken hind legs and a broken jaw. He walks a little funny and drools, but hes the most lovable baby in the world. I wish you were here...It never gets easier, does it? I wish you could of seen me really grow and change over the past few years...Im finally a girl I think you can be proud of. I still have attitude and I still argue with mom and grandma sometimes, but not nearly as often as I used to. My heart isnt the greatest, but I deal with it. Dont worry about me, focus on mom, aunt stacey, and grandma...They need you more..I have to go to work soon so I cant write much, but I love you sooooo much!!

Hi Dad,seems like it's one thing after another with my health. Finally get my A1C down only to end up with a double concussion from hand feeding a calf. Today I get told I have a tumor in my sinus cavity. Not sure what kind it is yet. have to have some tests done and see a specialist. Really scared. Need you to keep an extra watch over me. Really don't need the added stress but you and mom taught us how to be strong and to always keep our faith. Am finally getting my comp case settled. Wish I could have got it settled while you were still with us. Wanted to take a vacation with you and mom after my case was done.
Mom's been dealing with a lot of pain lately too. She's a strong woman but could you keep an extra eye on her too We still don't know why Mona passes out and falls. Just praying it's nothing serious.We couldn't do the Alzheimer's walk again this year. None of us are in the best of health to be able to complete it. We know you wouldn't want us to put our health at risk or cause added pain to ourselves. Been organizing pictures and it's still hard to see your picture and not break down. You are so missed. I envy those who still have their fathers. Hoping to make the memorial this year. Working on a memorial shelf for you.Flip and Tom. It's a slow process as I want to make sure it looks perfect. Give my babies hugs and kisses for me. Love and miss you.
